The announcer seems to like Columbia...
“Team Columbia… H! T! C! What a beautiful sight!”

If he keeps this level of excitement the next couple of hours I'm gonna be impressed
I’m sure that not even Moises Aldapes wife is so excited to see him as that Towle guy is.

Who are the guy with
Vaitcus and Chris Anker?
That's a matter of definition
There’s a race on now.

LOL. Remember the vidoe production here is still in the dark ages but slowly evolving.
We still get the occasional ground shot and portapotty.
103 KM to go
Vaitkus, Aldapa Sanchez and Anker Sorenson in a break that seems to be about to get caught.
The tracker is way off, isn't it?
They’ve done 4 laps now I think.

I think the announcer is wrong.
CN has:
First KOM results are:
1 Chris Anker Sorensen (Team Saxo Bank)
2 Moises Aldape Chavez (Team Type 1)
3 Tomas Vaitkus (Astana)
4 David Veilleux (Kelly Benefit Strategies)
5 Andy Jacques-Maynes (Bissell Pro Cycling)
The break is approaching the end of lap four and there’s 10 laps so…
The KOM was at 43,1 km

That is great
Now the sound is OK and the commentary is working, if the race video also is good then everything is perfect :)

were they planning on showing the race at all, or are we supposed to be so entranced...
…by Frankie that we didn’t notice anything missing?
You see how calm Vaughters is? That’s because he’s really one giant seething ball of Evil inside. With like, extra Evil.
I'm already annoyed
They’re interrupting the show by switching to some damn cycle commuters every now and then.

Yes
It was just a bad joke, the commuters were supposed to be the riders in the breakaway.

New rule: learn to tuck
Otherwise no license.

OK
Can’t say I have studied that issue so thoroughly ;)

What's the bet
that the kit undergoes a re-design before we see it next? ;-)
Did all of the Pros from the US break a bone this year?
Horner – more than one
Armstrong – collarbone
Leipheimer – butt and collarbone
Hincapie – collarbone
Who didnt?
Ted King
(sure there’s more but having a hard time comeing up with names)
given that I'm half asleep
I’m just grateful for various things (if of varying degrees of accuracy) on one page.
Eh...
Did they show the Danish flag next to Vaitkus name? Whatever it was, it was definitely not the Lithuanian flag.

Rory Masini came up to us yesterday at the press conference!
He promises to post more Liquigas for us…HA!…very cool!!

From Teh Twit
Team Type 1’s Moises Aldape has won both intermediate sprints and is the virtual race leader. 1 more time bonus sprint.
They switched to high-res a while ago

Oh right
This is great now, same thing as ToC I think. Biiiig video: http://i25.tinypic.com/5da3gy.jpg
It will be correct eventually
If they only change it often enough

It's the British for Vaitkus now
As Civetta hinted above. I’m pretty sure it was the Danish flag earlier.

I sleep well at night...
… knowing that our Army are busy following races on their phones…
(just joking, mate!)
everything that that you see on his page
is stuff he’s sent… if it says RT @someoneorother, then he’s re-sending/commenting on something someone else has said to him.
Really, it’s easier to give in & sign up…
yes. You have to "follow" someone to see their tweets on your page.
Or you can click on your “mentions” and it shows you everyone that used your username.
Ok.. I'm a slow learner..
Nice to some see it like it is: RT This is evans?
@erwindewit: @CadelOfficial i am in shame to be a Dutch today :-( What was Geesink thinking
From someone else? And what is the @?
about 1 hour ago from TwitterFon
Ok sorry you also have a race to follow
Yes that was from Evans
He re-posted for all of us to see what a guy named ‘erwindewit’ wrote to him and added some commentary of his own (“Nice to some see it like it is”). The @-sign is pronounced ‘at’ (to, directed at), used to reply to other users. If you write @foobar it automatically becomes a link to the Twitter page of user ‘foobar.’
Another question.. If I look on your profile(?) I see
RT @CadelOfficial: @Frankster1967 ‘Watch Gesink’ – wish I’d got this tweet before the stage!!!!
about 1 hour ago from Tweetie
Why is that on your screen?
Ted was just retweeting Cadel's tweet.
Meaning Ted repeated the tweet that someone else had already tweeted.
Thanks both! I think I understand it.. Or half of it!
Next step is going to use it but that is a long shot.. For now
That's the easiest part:
Just sign up for an account and start following people (go to their page and click ‘Follow’). You will get their tweets all on one page without doing anything else.
Because I sent it out
I re-tweeted what Evans replied to ‘Frankster1967’ because I thought it was kind of funny and wanted to share with my audience (heh). Replies to other users (like this one from Evans to Frankster) don’t show up on other users’ screens unless they are following both, so despite it being a public reply (you can see it on Evans’ page if you go there) it’s still a bit hidden. Just a way to get it out there.
To view everything that other people wrote to him,
you have to use the search function: clicky here.
Ha! Just checked in--
Paul Sherwin and Frankie Andreau—not bad for a little ol’ US race eh?
W/ Marco Pinotti setting tempo, it shows the quality of the field!
Evening
Flash upgraded (temporarily I hope) and here I am. And I worked out how to get two monitors working on the PC which makes for a nice set up.
Maybe
But not in Missouri

So Frankie and Paul have to mention the entire team names?
Instead of abbreviate them to something more manageable.

"Big" Michael Barry?
“Big” Mickey Rogers? Columbia need to work on their nicknames a bit this winter.
Indeed. Would have been nice to see that!

Ha Ha
let’s cut to the back of the photographers’ pen. I guess that means that Lyne got a nice clear shot.
Time to sleep
Before I start to talk Swedish with an Australian accent. G’night!

Heinrich Haussler (Cervelo Test Team) and Tom Zirbel (Bissell Pro Cycling) were
involved in the crash.
I like the fact
that two minutes after the finish anyone can ride the finishing stretch
Thankyou Missouri.
Good race.
Nice to watch decent coverage, live, at a reasonable time. Two Pro races from Quebec next year.
That was fun. See ya tomorrow.
Anyone know if any SexyBankers went down??
Damn gettiing to work got in my way..

ok thanks for that..

just heard Klier and Vande Velde went down in same crash.
Vande Velde has a broken hand but will continue the race. And Klier is ok as far as I know.
Because bradbordeaux hasn't posted yet, I must continue the tradition of saying
BAH CAVENDISH!!!!
